China News Agency, Beijing, September 27th (Ma Shuisha) At 7:50 on September 27th, Beijing time, China used the Long March 6 carrier rocket at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center to successfully launch ten tests in the "one arrow three stars" method. Six A and B satellites and experiment No. 17 satellite.

This group of satellites is mainly used in the fields of land census, urban planning and disaster prevention and mitigation.

  With the successful launch of the Long March 6 rocket, China Aerospace has achieved three launches in three days and a record of eight launches per month.

On September 26, the Long March 2D carrier rocket successfully launched the remote sensing 36 satellite at the Xichang Satellite Launch Center; on September 25, the Kuaizhou-1A carrier rocket successfully launched the test No. 14 and test at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center. satellite fifteen.

  The Long March-6 carrier rocket is a cryogenic liquid three-stage carrier rocket developed by the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation.

Its sun-synchronous circular orbit has a carrying capacity of up to 1.0 tons (orbit height of 700 kilometers).

  The Long March 6 carrier rocket made its maiden flight on September 20, 2015. It is a pathfinder model of China's new generation of carrier rockets.

Up to now, the Long March 6 carrier rocket has successfully completed 10 launch missions, of which 9 are "one arrow with multiple satellites".

  The satellites A and B of the test No. 16 were developed by the General Manager of the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and the satellite No. 17 was developed by the General Manager of the Fifth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation. This group of satellites is mainly used for land census, urban planning and disaster prevention and mitigation. and other fields.

  With the successful launch of test No. 16 A and B satellites at the Taiyuan Satellite Launch Center, the Eighth Academy of China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation successfully launched 2 arrows and 3 satellites within 11 hours, setting a record for the shortest interval between consecutive launches of satellite arrows by the Academy.

From the experiment of the No. 15 satellite, to the satellite of the remote sensing No. 36 C, and then to the satellites A and B of the No. 16 experiment, the Eighth Institute for the first time ushered in the launch of 3 satellites in 11 hours, 4 satellites in 3 days, and 7 satellites in one month. historic leap.

  The mission is the 440th flight of the Long March series of launch vehicles.
